There may be a fuse ( you will have to get to the [power board to check)but normally in the event of a lighting strike that fuse is useless as the power surge jumps the fuse holder and fries the board and screen
I suggest that you take it to an appliance shop for a proper diagnosis and next time put a quality power surge board in the system before the tv and any other electronic equipment
Hi,
Here are some basic steps that will help you fixing the problem.
I'm assuming that your unit is dead set without an standby LED
light and your outlet is live.1.Power cord - check the cord it might be opened (no
continuity).This is due to frequent bending,pulling. 2. Power switch - check for dry joints, open contact. 3.Check the internal fuse-
sometimes the fuse fail because of the power
surge, replacing with new one will cure the problem, If this is the case I
would advice you to use surge protector/AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator).
However if the fuse blew again this is an indication that you have a shorted parts in the power supply, you may visit the
linkhttp://www.fixya.com/support/r8053361-fuse_keeps_blowing for more info. If no reaction and
still the unit didn't power up then you have an open parts on the power supply.
4.If you see that the fuse is intact , don't attempt to touch anything
because there some fatalcomponents
stored electricity enough to hurt you with a simple mistake only. I would
advice you to look for a
professional to troubleshoot
the power supply. If you want to repair it yourself make sure that you have
necessary tools and test
instrument. First check bad solder joints(re-solder all
cold solder), leaky
electrolytic capacitor(sometimes it has bulged at the top but not all, you better
have a capacitor checker), open/shorted regulator transistor/IC(mounted in heat
sink), open fusible resistor (caused by shorted regulator
Transistor/IC), shorted zener
diode.
You may also replace the entire power supply board, click this LINK.
Hope I helped you.
Thanks for using fixya.
